without intermissiOn, at any rate since

The Value Of Love.

No one who b,,s looked into life with
honest eyes can have failed to discover
that it derives untold values from the
love which welcomes its dawn. attends
its growth and advances step by step
and soothes, and cheers its old age.
Human love is itself a pearl of great
price. How it enlarges, enriches and
ennobles life! What beneficent minis
tries it conducts! What patient hero
ism and severe self-suppression it in
spires. In a mother, it is faith and
hope and patience and effort and VIC
tory. In young hearts it is trans
forming gladness. an awakening to the
responsibility and to the rapture of life.
In manhood and womanhood it is the
balm Of care. refuge in temptation
and a source of sercnity.-Farm and
